and here they are to new center tonight the time now just after ten pm here in moscow a first israeli police have used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse palestinian protesters at a border crossing with the west bank thousands of palestinians throughout the region are rallying today against israel's occupation of the territories there marking the land day as it's called which commemorates the seizure of a large slice of arab territories by israel almost three decades ago a little earlier my colleague. who is out of checkpoint during some of the scuffles . tension actually is running high it seemed for a while like it had it has been subsiding here at the kalandia checkpoint between ramallah and is jerusalem but now even though the israeli military has pushed back slightly towards the checkpoint the demonstrators nevertheless a continuing their advancement on the began burning tires just very recently earlier they were exchanged. between the protesters and the border police out when

the road. these are flowing rocks at the israeli forces and the israeli forces were responding with us dung grenades and tear gas it kind of comes and goes in waves but of course the the palestinians are showing no signs of giving up at all of the of this this actually has the land demonstrations have been a tradition since one nine hundred seventy six when they occurred for the first time and six palestinians were killed in a confrontation with the israeli police and israeli armed forces and it has been happening every here as it is happening today last year the protests were extremely violent and they usually turn more violent in gaza where the israeli police and military forces are generally using live ammunition and we know that at least one person has been wounded with live ammo earlier today in the gaza strip as for what's happening in the west bank where first protesters being held by the palestinians all over the place there has been an exchange like i said stun grenades and tear gas we do not so we have asked the israeli forces whether they

have used rubber bullets they have said no but palestinian media is reporting that there have been at least two wounds from from the use of rubber bullet by these rally for says of course the palestinians are protesting against the israelis sorry palestinians are protesting against these really occupation of land especially against the israeli settlements which not only do not subside but they actually are growing especially over the past decade and especially under the government of benyamin netanyahu what's happening around you right now we see people running we've seen fires in the back just describe what's going on around you as well. what i can tell you that that ban was actually stun grenade i'm sorry it's not it's not particularly dangerous they just kind of really literally stuns you and now we can see that the tear gas savvy call that has pulled up maybe we can turn around and you can see what's happening actually as we talk so we yeah we see the recalls which i have the tear gas dispersal units on them they're. edging they're trying to

edge the protesters out as we as we speak the protesters are lying. on the street on the hill right above there and see they're using these special special i don't know if we want to call them the gadgets which with which they throw stones which are fly quite far i have to say majority of them are very young from even kids as young as ten rather full grown men to about thirty they're not go they're not showing any signs of via giving up. their will israel is continually building new houses on palestinian land preventing the two sides from jumpstarting dialogue could eventually lead to an independent palestinian state and that's what we're talking about. do you think there's going to be a stance of solution here any time soon it's gone on for so long is the talk of it continues the violence going to continue or do you see some light at the end of the tunnel thanks for voting if you have this is what you've been telling us you can see the votes right first of all forty four percent that's just percentages so not much change has to be said this think that israel will simply absorb the

palestinian land into its own you think that is how it's going to pan a twenty nine percent no until international powers stop using both as pawns you don't think they'll be any peace twenty three percent again what was it last twenty four again not much change the say neither side is interested in peace just the minority again saying regional pressure you think looking on the positive side will force both into peace so plenty of time to have your say of course r.t. dot com gatty he's a member of the palestinian legislative council he thinks the stick in the works to solving all of this is the israeli side let's take a listen. this is not a conflict between two equal sides. unable to find a way to solve the problem this is one side which is the israeli side occupying another for the longest occupation in modern history four to six years of occupation one side or pressing the palestinians i don't think there is any chance

for peace process as long as we have this israeli government because what you have now inside the israeli government. ministers who are themselves settlers and this is the highest number of settlers who are sitting in the government they are also controlling the housing ministry and they are controlling the industry and commercial ministry and they are also controlling the finance committee in the israeli knesset and practically they control the policy regarding the occupied territories because also the minister of defense who is in charge of the army is also loyal to the settlers in the ality with such an israeli government it's impossible to move into a real peace process unless the punishment acts. no more news ahead for you this hour with me kevin zero in on a soon in a few minutes no letup in the egyptian opposition's outrage scuffles between muslim brotherhood opponents and supporters in the north left dozens injured while

protesters in the capital direct their anger at the prosecutor general as we've been reporting more on that again this hour also to no side of improvement in the guantanamo hunger strike it continues but a u.s. rights lawyer says the american public has got very little awareness of what's actually happening inside camp delta we follow. of cyprus next though cypriots a six figure savings and many pension is no standard c. the bulk of the deposits wiped out europe's latest bailout terms dictate an even wider cash grab than previously thought the central bank says up to two thirds of people savings above one hundred thousand euros will be drained in exchange for a shit is in the collapsing banks and the doubts to whether the rest will ever be repaid risk advisor daniel wagner told us none of it is going to bring any relief. if the bank can pull a rabbit out of a hat and somehow make what appears to be near worthless shares somehow very valuable then i suppose these the positives have some hope that they'll be

receiving some of their money back but at this point in time that doesn't look very likely and what's happening now is the rise of the far right in many parts of europe has only in some respects taken off it's been very strong in a country like greece with with golden dawn and in countries like switzerland where nearly a third of the popular vote in the most recent election went to the far right this type of action that we're seeing in greece in cyprus now and in greece is only going to fuel the fire is only going to prompt more people in my estimation to run to the far right to become more nationalistic and to become more closed minded about the options that they would consider for their future whenever want to sit idly by max and stacey in the cause report delve into the cypriot crisis later today they share their lack of optimism over britain. latest plan for a miracle come back to zero zero about gold that is to say told you to buy gold four years ago right here in the kaiser report many of you asked but what if the

government confiscates our gold maybe the more intelligent question you should have been asking was what if they seize your bank account when i talk to you about bitcoin that is to say i told you to buy a bit coin of five dollars per bitcoin you screeched what if they shut down the internet or maybe you should have been asking what if they shut down all the banks well it's too late now the template has been set and while europe melts down let's see what the template holds for the united kingdom oh right here in old britannia where over my shoulder you can see the plank above the mayor's office where boris johnson the mayor may very well commit. the situation of america's most notorious to tension camps becoming increasingly desperate with lawyers acting for guantanamo inmates now claiming their clients are ready to die most of the prisoners have believed to be on a week's long hunger strike continuing protesting against their illegal

imprisonment and mistreatment at the hands of. several people have been hospitalized around a dozen to being force fed now rights activists said the jail is a pressuring the strikers to end their campaign by keeping temperatures inside the camp and freezing point this while there's still seems to be no sign of any political momentum to try and solve the guantanamo crisis thomas willis a lawyer who represented guantanamo detainees in the past he told me the general public in the us barely aware of what's going on there. if you talk to people in the united states they simply don't know about guantanamo they don't know today that eighty six of the hundred sixty six people down there are innocent have been clear have already been cleared many of the others are also innocent they don't know that the people at guantanamo weren't picked up on a battlefield they were sold for bounties by northern alliance people they don't know these facts anymore because there is no coverage in the united states the white house has said that it's still interested in closing guantanamo but i think it's delegated the issue of their people and it's also thrown up and instead well

congress is stopping us from doing any of my former clients. because the allo to and by how contrary are innocent people who are wrongly you know the president can get in and make sure that those people are released and sent home they don't pose a danger those people are desperate they want to die if they can't get out of guantanamo the u.s. courts have no authority to order a release of someone who is in guantanamo they are in the hands of the president the president has the authority to do it congress has said he could do it only with difficulty but he has the authority to do it he needs to step up to the plate and get it done a look at me take an in-depth look at the plight of guantanamo detainees has been later this hour on the sets america and then abby martin challenging the idea of fulfilled by some journalists that it makes it a comfortable life and should be grateful for being locked up. i forgot to mention

and to different specifications to take for example your high visibility jacket that would call as much as up to one hundred pounds per unit in a very aggressive force compared to as little as twenty pounds pay you next minimal froogle constabulary lots of four hundred percent difference in price and the same applies to other commonplace items that you'd expect would be standard issues such as boots handcuffs and even body armor this one has got a velcro covering strap here which covers the zip was this body armor the zip with no velcro covering strop a toilet. spirity the last thing you need is a bit of bureaucracy get in the way of progress it makes sense to have standardized way buying stuff and yes it will be a lot cheaper at least adorations around the country have been very vocally protesting cuts to their budgets recently the public accounts committee says that

instead of tackling kwai police forces are wasting resources time and money on disagreeing over how many pockets they should have on their uniforms the national audit office says that police forces around the country simply need to band together in order to increase buying power and drive down the costs of their uniforms otherwise britain's poppies might find that they are burning too many holes in all those different pockets poorly boy k r c london. three top world news headlines making news right now thousands of protesters want to belgium's key cities to hold on saturday which is a move for southern half of the country as just been hit hard by the closure of a steel plant putting fourteen hundred people to work we will only a region is in economic freefall in fact in contrast a prosperous dutch speaking flanders in the north. libya's military says more than one hundred fifty government ambushed an airbase in the center of the country

cuff ports life and emergency camps is often hopelessly grip. they come here by the thousands carrying meager belongings and painful memories at the zaatari refugee camp in jordan as desert shortage of nearly everything has turned daily life into a battle for survival. everything is hard here we don't have clean water to drink and it makes the children sick. for others despair has turned to anger. inside the calm their suffering in syria we're suffering why is the suffering still going on and why the hell with human rights to hell with the world to hell with the big countries. but those living in camps are only the most visible part of the problem the tip of the iceberg in a disaster that is far more vast than meets the eye around eighty percent of jordan's syrian refugees live in cities and towns many of them are concentrated

right here in urban about twenty kilometers from the syrian border and while camp life certainly is hard urban refugees have problems of their own abdullah brought us family to jordan after their home was destroyed in the war they now share this two room apartment with another syrian family and. we thought we couldn't stay inside the council because of our children we found this home but we can barely pay the rent there is no help with food or supplies for people like us no one has mercy on us. this mother of six also lives here she tells us her daughter hasn't had milk in three days they've run out of money and they don't know where to turn to for help. ifas unfair here is full of humiliation how can they live. aid groups call them the invisible victims of the compass the one which is the easiest to see whereas if you have families who are spread over a small city of course they're much more difficult to find they tend to stay remain

isolated they very quickly run out of means because many of the families who have arrived late do not arrive basically without any from local charities catering to urban refugees do exist but they're struggling to this clinic for syrian refugees depends entirely on donations but it hasn't been able to buy new medicines for days the money simply isn't coming in and that means no medication for this syrian baby at least for now just like the countless refugees languishing in camps and struggling in cities his parents will have to wait and hopes of help lucy catherine of r.t. jordan and as promised a bit earlier we're looking very closely at the plight of the ongoing plight of guantanamo detainees and breaking the set that programs on air after this break.

all since the new pope was chosen the calls for reform are analysts everyone wants the new pope to allow this and to allow that but the problem is that the catholic church is a religion not a product if people don't like the way a pepsi bottle looks while the company will have to in theory change it to meet public demand but the pope claims to represent the will of the creator of the universe the pope supposedly holds and protects an ancient and eternal truth so how can you expect this eternal truth just up and change big. public demand even though they pretend like they dulled religions do change over time but how can you expect the pope after hundreds of years of saying that people would be condemned to the fires of hell and eternity in the charred walls of the day i'm for certain sins just now say well i guess those sins are ok if you're catholic and you want your religion to change constantly then why do you believe in it why bother having principles and rules in the first place supposedly given to you by the almighty if

you're just going to change them whenever you feel like it i don't get this but that's just my opinion. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i'd like i don't see any i mean. i know that i'm still really messed up. in we're all very closely. it's. worse for the food. white house of a. radio guy four minutes from a click. what. we're about to give you never seen anything like this until it. was going on i mean martin and this is breaking this is that so i forgot to mention
